All good points. I just prefer to avoid the word 'belief' because of all the faith associations. I've had people jump all over less. (See above story for example...sigh)
It's a pet peeve of mine when I want to get to the reasons why I don't think there is a god and someone decides to go on a tangent over wording. So I get overcautious, yet apparently not overcautious enough to make it to my point...
